Blessing CircleFor Melissa Hart &amp; Bill WilsonSaturday, December 27, 2025 5pm – 7pm It is Jewish tradition to hold a kabbalat panim, “receiving faces”, a kind of pre-ceremony reception. It’s an opportunity for friends and loved ones to meet with the bride before the wedding to bless and praise her. Being the modern Jews we are, our blessing circle will include the groom as well. Lucky Bill! As a gift to Melissa and Bill from everyone, we will be making a Blessing Book for them. This book will include your messages of love anywhere from blessings, compliments, praise, good wishes and sound wisdom. So start thinking about what you’d like to say to them and bring your creativity. There will be paper, paint, markers, colored pencils, etc. You’re sure to make something very meaningful for them. No Jewish event is complete without food. Please bring snack/finger food. This will be a dairy spread so no meat. Label the food if it is special (glutton free, nuts, sugar free). Contact Mollie Marks to let us know what you’re bringing. 972-951-3033 <a href="mailto:mcmarks2@verizon.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mcmarks2@verizon.net</a> It is also BYOB (or whatever your adult beverage of choice is!). We will have some various wines, tequila, and scotch, we are happy to share!
